Petrobras Energia Peru S.A., based in Lima, Peru, engages in exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. Its pilot project was designed to test the feasibility of using wireless radios to communicate with pipeline flow computers in the field. Wireless radios, installed at 18 different test site locations, were to report to a gateway and then into a SCADA system.

Controllers and PLCs now have Ethernet ports. If they have an Ethernet port, they have the ability to be operated remotely, which is a huge benefit for companies like Petrobras.
